Shurely shome mishtake

My bank keeps reassuring me that their wonderful 'Verified by Visa' and suchlike schemes are guaranteed to make transactions secure. Curiously, when I mention the risk of Man in middle or that it is to cover their backside and not mine they always go a little quiet.

The idea is that the card number printed on your card isn't a secret anyway

... for anyone who gets their mitts on your card, but not if you carry it in your pocket

and you are insured for the small amount someone could possibly steal from you

...which just means you pay for that insurance. And the need for scanning your statements. And the hassle declaring it really wasn't you despite being in the shop that day. RFID is simply a bad idea, and so is NFC.
